I do not wish to intrude on Praktica's thread as I can in no way match his extensive camera range nor his expertise. Neither is this a true collector's thread as I do not still possess all these cameras I have had in the past.
I shall therefore start this separate thread and endeavour to list and describe the cameras I have had in the past.
My very first camera was one I inherited from my father. It was an Eastman Kodak 116 Box Brownie. These were manufactured by Eastman Kodak in USA from 1917 in various models through until the 1930's My father must have acquired this in the early 1920's and I inherited it in the early 1940's. It had a problem that it let in the light badly so you were never sure how much if any of a photo you were going to capture.
